Purdy, James EUSTACE CHISHOLM AND THE WORKS
New York Farrar Straus Giroux 1967 1st Edition; 1st Printing Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
First edition, first issue with publishing error on page which lists previous works. The spine ends and corners of the book covers have a bit of very light bumping and rubbing. Black cloth covered boards have white lettering to the spine of the book. The text pages are clean and bright. The top edge of the text block is stained a medium reddish orange (Top stain - done by the publisher). The spine ends and corners of the dust jacket have a bit of very light bumping and rubbing. "A quiet, contemplative man who avoids publicity and looks upon the cocktail-and- television-appearances circuit of the New York publishing world as one of the many manifestations of Hell in contemporary society, Purdy lives and writes in comparative isolation, a reject, in his own words, from a sick society. It is as a prose poet of the grotesque and the alienated that Purdy has achieved his highest success. His is a strange and highly individual talent. He is preoccupied with the paradoxes he finds in the human situation - love-hate, beauty-ugliness, compassion-cruelty. He leads us into a world in which customary values are reversed, where the familiar suddenly becomes terrifying, as though one walking through a well known terrain were to find himself at the edge of a void alive with sights and sounds only partly recognizable" (courtesy of an online James Purdy Biography).
